Answer:

Explanation:

Let x be the number of doubles games

Let y be the number of singles games

x + y = 13 Multiply by 2

2x + 2y = 26

4x + 2y = 38 Subtract

-2x= -12 Divide by -2

-2x/-2 = - 12/-2

x = 6

x + y = 13

6 + y = 13

y = 7

There are 6 doubles matches being playing

That means there are 12 teams engaged in 6 doubles matches or 24 players

There are 7 singles matches

That means there are 14 players total that are playing singles

24 + 14 = 38 players all together.
